I always give them a month or two with the book and *then* request
it. Tomorrow, I'm going to put in a request for Thor Ewing's
Viking Clothing book. Anybody got any comments on it?
Yes, I do. It's an interesting read. Wisely, Mr. Ewing doesn't purport to
have the gospel truth about what the Vikings wore: instead, he reports the
finds and current theories that he is aware of. He also is very forthcoming
with his clothing theories based on that evidence. I don't agree with
everything he says, but a lot of it is plausible and all of it is
thought-provoking. The only thing I regret about the book is that it doesn't
have more illustrations in it.
I had flipped through it once (and I still kick myself for not
checking it out then!), and that was the one thing that I noticed.
thanks!
